On February 15, according to former agent Xia Yushun, Liu Wenzheng, the singer of "A Generation of Legends", died in November last year at the age of 70.
But what is outrageous is that the news of "Liu Wenzheng's death" was personally denied by Xia Yushun, the agent who released the material the next day, and he confessed that Liu Wenzheng was still in the world!
Yesterday, as soon as the news of Liu Wenzheng's death was released, it caused great repercussions in all walks of life, and everyone remembered and paid tribute to it.
When his student, Fang Wenlin of the "Flying Eagle Three Sisters", heard the news, he was so sad that he couldn't help himself. Qiu Haizheng said, "It feels very unreal."
When Yi Nengjing was asked about this, he was shocked and said that if it were not for the announcement issued by his family, he would have reservations for the time being.
There was also a friend who was close to Liu Wenzheng spoke up, reprimanding Xia Yushun's nonsense, "The news is false, just talked to Liu Wenzheng on the phone, how can the person not be there?" ”
The news of Liu Wenzheng's death evolved into a Rashomon, and it was really not so easy to leave completely.
On February 16, the reporter called Xia Yushun again, this time completely changing his words, pointing out that Liu Wenzheng is still in Las Vegas.
And frankly admitted that because some practitioners recently bid 2 billion yuan, if Liu Wenzheng returns to tour, he will choose to "cheat death" to seek cleanliness.
Unfortunately, things backfired, and the more you want to be forgotten, the easier it is to be missed.
However, this is also in line with Liu Wenzheng's consistent style of maintaining mystery.
In the 90s of last century, Liu Wenzheng announced his retirement from the entertainment industry and completely disappeared from the public eye.
Since then, until today, the world has not been able to catch a glimpse of the superstar.
In the same year that Liu Wenzheng retired, a businessman offered 1 million yuan just to ask for a recent photo of him.
But this sky-high bounty has never been claimed.
No one knows where he landed.
Even Luo Dayou, a friend in the circle, wanted to find him to reminisce, but he had to turn to the media.
"If anyone of you is capable, please help me bring a word to Liu Wenzheng, I, Luo Dayou, miss you very much."
Some people are trying to follow his tracks, but he has been summoned to die several times, and jokes have been made with the world.
Liu Wenzheng once lamented the nothingness of life with his friends when he was the most popular: "What is the point of living a lifetime, coming to be alone, going to be alone, what is the meaning of joy, anger and sorrow here?" ”
Some people say that he pursued perfection all his life, but he was burdened by fame all his life.
"Mysterious" is his Liu Wenzheng's background
Liu Wen is the peak of idol singers in the last century, and it is the consensus of the public to describe him as a "superstar".
He has his own "Liu Wenzheng era", which has been supported by thousands of listeners, and his singing voice, dress, and hairstyle have been imitated by junior singers.
Like Teresa Teng, he is the pop music enlightenment of countless people in the mainland.
He has won the Golden Bell Award for three consecutive years and is the mentor of singers such as Yi Nengjing, Wu Qixian, Fang Wenlin, and Qiu Haizheng.
For many people, his news is the loneliness of spring and winter, and the nothingness of the end of the big time.
Liu Wenzheng left the outside world with more of the word "mysterious".
The news of "being died" has been spread several times. Ren was shocked by the earth, and Liu Wenzheng remained unmoved.
Previously, it was once rumored that he had a close relationship with Fei Xiang.
Both chose to retire at the peak of their careers and left for the United States.
Coupled with the good deeds, the media fanned the flames, the relationship between the two was spread to the top, and some people even came up with evidence that the two were "together".
In fact, the photo originated from netizens' spoofing.
Liu Wenzheng's original picture is a photo of her with an actress.
Fei Xiang's original picture is a photo of him and his nanny.
Fei Xiang once bluntly said in an interview show that his nanny's influence on him even exceeded his mother's. No wonder that Fei Xiang's assistant responded by accusing the person who posted the news of "not accumulating morality"
He became a superstar at the age of 30, retired at the age of 40, was summoned to die at the age of 70, and from the day he "disappeared", the media has not been able to capture his real image.
Because the world does not know where Liu Wenzheng is located, his relatives and friends are also carefully helping him guard the secret.
His pride and loneliness, perfection and sentimentality are deeply buried in the corners that the audience wants to explore but has no way out.
Flashy bushes, leaves do not stain
Liu Wenzheng has gathered too many highlights and envy.
Gao Lingfeng once verified that the male singers of their era all made Liu Wenzheng his ideal appearance, hoping that he would be both a "student prince" and a "prince charming" like him.
He once changed record labels halfway through Starway.
When the new album was about to be released, the old club could not let go of the economic benefits he brought, and made a bad move, using the old tapes he left behind, rearranging the combination, and tinkering with a new album.
Both old and new companies tried to take advantage of his fame, and the end result was that both albums sold out.
This confirms that Liu Wenzheng's brilliance does not rely on packaging, does not rely on publicity, but only comes from the charm of his singing voice and personality.
He is Zhang Qiang's girlish dream.
The writer Sanmao also wrote in his work that he listened to Liu Wenzheng's songs and walked through the Saara Desert.
Jacky Cheung is the god of singing in everyone's eyes, and in the heart of Jacky Cheung's wife Luo Meiwei, Liu Wenzheng is the god of song.
Liu Wenzheng came from a very good background, his family opened a factory, and his family was wealthy.
He is the eldest in the family, and his brothers and sisters have received music education and can play the piano.
They can play an instrument and enjoy themselves, but no one wants to sing.
Perhaps because of this, Liu Wenzheng's parents decided that their children did not have much music cells.
So formal music education was shelved in Liu Wenzheng.
However, unexpectedly, Liu Zhengwen could not play or play, but he was keen to sing.
He was part of the choir at the school, was the lead singer of the band, and he was proud of the excitement of the stage.
Liu Wenzheng's entry into the industry began with an oolong farce.
During the summer vacation of his freshman year of high school, the members of the band signed him up for a singing competition on TV without saying hello.
They wanted to see him embarrassed in front of a crowd of good singing hands.
Unfortunately, this wish did not come true.
Liu Wenzhengtian was not afraid, singing the melodic song "Dream Garden", overcoming difficulties all the way, and won the fifth place and a contract handed over by the record company.
In the first few years of entering the industry, his star luck was mediocre, and his career has not improved.
At the suggestion of his father, he went to military service.
Which Cheng thought that in the process of performing with the art team, he met the music producer Liu Jiachang.
The other party produced a song "The Promise" for him.
Liu Wenzheng, red.
His tapes sold amazingly.
His concert was full.
The TV station launched an exclusive program "Liu Wenzheng Time" for him, and each episode has super high ratings.
He also sang and You Ze performed, becoming the first generation of Qiong Yao children.
But such a person who has enjoyed thousands of favors, when breaking free from the hustle and bustle of the floating world, can always cut through the mess quickly, without a trace of nostalgia.
Liu Wenzheng first escaped from the public eye in 1983.
At just 31 years old, he "disappeared".
In the next four years, relatives and friends in the circle could not contact him, and the media tried their best to capture his "heroic shadow trace".
According to his own words, during those four years, he was like a cloud ranger, traveling around the world, traveling all over Europe, America and Australia, and seeing all kinds of customs and customs.
It was not until 1986 that he returned to the public eye as a record label owner.
He established Flying Eagle Records, and discovered and brought new talents such as Wu Qixian, Yi Nengjing, Qiu Haizheng, and Fang Wenlin.
But none of these newcomers gave him peace of mind.
In the Flying Eagle Sanshu, Yi Nengjing was busy with Yu Chengqing's romance, Fang Wenlin was busy dating Wang Jie, and as soon as the sisters fell in love, they wanted to put on the pigeons of the show.
For this reason, Liu Wenzheng had to transform into the nanny of the Flying Eagle sisters, busy for them, and clean up the mess.
In 1990, Liu Wenzheng simply ignored it and announced the dissolution of Flying Eagle Records.
Bloody incidents such as "former master-apprentice going to court" also happened to Liu Wenzheng.
Apprentice Wu Qixian, after the closure of Flying Eagle Records, went to a new company.
Without saying hello, he mastered the two songs recorded at Flying Eagle Records and put them on his new album.
After learning of this, Liu Wenzheng directly sent a complaint to Wu Qixian.
At the end of the lawsuit, Liu Wenzheng received 15 million yuan in compensation from Wu Qixian and decided to settle the matter, but where he thought about it, he was slandered by the other party's girlfriend, saying that he had no money on hand.
All this made him frustrated and publicly told the media that he had a deeper understanding of human nature.
In 1991, Liu Wenzheng announced his withdrawal from the circle and completely disappeared from public view.
His voice seems to be frozen at his 40 years old.
Why so determined?
Perhaps, the answer can be found in Liu Wenzheng's instinct.
All-round "perfectionism"
Liu Wenzheng's friend Luo Dayou once described him as narcissistic and perfectionist.
His brother Gao Lingfeng also confirmed his perfectionism, saying that as long as he was seen, he must maintain a perfect image.
What they said is true, Liu Wenzheng does have a perfect complex for everything.
In today's terms, he has quite an idol baggage.
One of his instructions to his apprentice Wu Qixian was to "pay attention to your image."
In order to maintain a perfect image in front of the stage, he was able to eat only guava or boiled egg belly before the performance, or "a cup of coffee is full".
Even when he withdrew from the audience's sight, he still maintained a perfect figure.
A few years ago, his former agent Xia Yushun once described his appearance in old age: he still maintained the habit of fitness, had a good figure, talked dashingly, and was as handsome as a prince.
But whenever he appeared in public, he had to maintain his flawless appearance.
Because of his long-term makeup, acne will inevitably develop on his face.
In the later stage, he tried to keep his face plain so that his skin could breathe.
But without makeup, he didn't want to appear in front of everyone.
So whenever someone wants to capture a "jade photo" of him, he will righteously refuse, saying sorry, no makeup today, and his complexion is not good.
Due to years of continuous washing, cutting and blowing, his hair is inevitably thinning.
In order not to affect the image, he always likes to appear in a hat.
He cares about how he looks in the eyes of others.
Cowboy hats and white scarves are his classic outfits.
As a generation of superstars, his outfits are inevitably used as parody material.
Many juniors in the circle have imitated his dress on entertainment variety shows, replacing white scarves with a roll of fluttering toilet paper.
From today's point of view, Liu Wenzheng inevitably lacks a bit of entertainment spirit.
For these "botched" imitators, he was not too polite.
When Cai Qin asked him what he thought of imitators, he replied: "It's really not of a good standard." ”
For business, Liu Wenzheng strives for excellence.
In every performance, he strives for perfection.
He has to control what styling he does, and he has to do it himself from the details to the lighting and drumming, and correct it to perfection.
To this end, he often rehearsed all night.
When recording songs, he also adhered to the spirit of "slow work and meticulous work".
He doesn't pay attention to efficiency, he only cares about quality, and it is the norm to record only two or three songs a day when doing shows.
And such an output rate is the limit of patience in the eyes of TV stations.
Just when he was popular, he had his own exclusive program called "Liu Wenzheng Time".
In order not to let the negligence of others "encroach" on his own program, he strives to do everything himself.
The notice should be issued by yourself, and every video recording should be supervised.
After the recording is completed, you have to bring up the part that has your own shot and repeat it over and over again.
In his self-narrative, he adopts his perfectionism:
I want everything to be perfect, even if the flaws are small, I want to wipe them all away, and if outsiders still feel that there is a difference, it is that I have a difference in imagination from theirs.
Also because he cares too much about his appearance in the minds of others, Liu Wen is often sad because of the evaluation of the outside world.
He hopes that as an artist, he can get fair evaluation from the outside world, as well as spiritual encouragement and correction.
If the world is really as good as this, he is willing to "exhaust his strength on the stage" and seek a complete destination.
But the world did not go as he wanted, and the verdicts in the newspapers and magazines exhausted him physically and mentally.
Rumors, ridicule, ridicule, speculation...
"Poor interpersonal relationships", "borrowing people to get to the top", "self-exciting"...
These evaluations, which did not match his real character, made him feel lost and tired.
Why is Liu Wenzheng reluctant to appear in public, even if it is a news picture tracked by paparazzi?
Many blame this on his perfectionism.
Some people say that he left the most flawless side to the world, hiding his old and dull appearance in time and space that everyone cannot see.
The birth of a superstar
Although he wears colorful clothes and stands in the spotlight of the times, enjoying wealth and fame, Liu Wenzheng always cherishes the feeling of birth.
Since his student days, he has been tired of causing trouble, dislike the limelight, and hate causing disputes.
He gave his apprentice Wu Qixian three instructions, one is to "bite the words clearly", the second is to "pay attention to the image", and the other is to "endure loneliness".
Everyone envied his popularity.
When he returned to the music scene in 1986 after four years of "disappearance", one of the insights he shared was that "people have to live for themselves." ”
After he completely went into hiding, his friend Fei Xiang said that although he had no stage and no applause, he enjoyed the happiest and most burden-free time in his life.
Although he was once in the brightest spotlight, he was extremely concerned about private space, rarely scandals, and outsiders could not find the details of his feelings from him.
Perhaps it is this subtle birth feeling that makes him have no attachment when he says goodbye to the glitz of the entertainment industry.
Vanishing and eternal
Although Liu Wenzheng has long been a hidden immortal, his singing voice and appearance have long been imprinted in the hearts of a generation.
Although songs such as "Penghu Bay of Grandma's House", "Orchid Grass" and "Country Road" were not originally sung by him, they reached the ears of a generation through his clear and pure singing.
His original songs such as "Little Rain in March" and "Meilan Meilan, I Love You" are even more popular.
His singing voice is like a memory box for a generation.
Melodies and beatings lurk in the time of listening to songs, lurking in the depths of memory, always activated at some point, warmth and excitement re-energizing in the heart.
Liu Wenzheng, may you always be at large.
